Dr. Moore was a good man indeed. I worked for his son David many years and knew most all the family. Can't wait to see him again at Jesus feet where I too will forever praise our Savior .

Pastor Moore was a great fella to know. He baptised all three of my girls! Loved to hear him preach, and honored when he would call on me to pray....
